Can Anyone Identify This Old Cub Cadet Tractor? If you can please let me know thanks.

Snagged this Ariens just a few weeks back and I dug into it when I got home and the wires were all chewed up but were poorly repaired put the jumper on and was able to weakly turn the engine over with the solenoid but the key didn’t do nothing I’m going to try a new battery to see if that makes a difference but I think the jumper should’ve had enough juice. Drop pics of your free pickups in the comments it’s crazy what people give away.

These plastic carburetors that you either love or hate are in my opinion the best and easiest carburetors to work on and clean, so easy and so cheap to get a new one, I love them but some people hate them there’s no in between, I’d rather have a metal carburetor but these are so nice when you are flipping a mower. What do you all think.
